[[File:COPPER_ENGRAVING_Albyns_Essex_1806.png|thumbnail|270px]]  Sir Robert Abdy purchased the manor and manor house of Albyns in 1654 from Baron Coleraine for £5,360.  The house was demolished in 1954, but at Abdy's time was what the VCH: Essex describes as a "very fine manor house," which incorporated parts of a smaller, earlier C16th house.  A survey of the building exists, carried out by the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments, 1920.  The house was brick-built, enclosing a courtyard on four sides.  The VCH, drawing on the RCHM, describes it as "entirely of the King James Gothic," with mullioned and transomed windows, and two story bays on three sides.  There was a long gallery on the first floor of the west wing, with fine panelling and an elaborate chimney.  The quality of fittings and plasterwork was high.  "The shields in the  spandrels of the older fireplaces were painted with the date 1654 and the initials A B K (for Robert and Katherine Abdy) and the panelling bore the arms of Abdy and Gayre."  There is a detailed estate map of Albyns from the period of its acquisition by Sir Robert Abdy, the work of John Kersey.  "It shows the layout of the grounds with stables and a dovehouse to the east of the mansion and a straight avenue leading south from the main entrance."

'''Dallison family house, Bishops place or palace, Halling, Kent'''

The Bishop's Palace or Place lay in the centre of the village of Halling off what is now called Ferry Road.  It bordered the northern bank of the River Medway, and overlooked marshes to the south.  Presumably a ferry plied linked the two banks of the Medway at this point, since the modern river is particularly narrow at this point, as it turns with a sharp kink on the way from Snodland towards Chatham and Rochester.
